1973 BMW 2800 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1973 BMW 2800 requires a 5x120 bolt pattern, which matches the factory 14x6 wheel at a 22-millimeter offset. You can step up to 15-inch or 16-inch diameter wheels across widths from 6 to 8 inches, giving you flexibility in appearance while maintaining compatibility. Since this car runs square fitment, front and rear accept the same sizing.
Keep in mind that only the 5x120 bolt pattern will fit your BMW's hubs. The center bore measures 72.6 millimeters; if your wheel's bore exceeds that, use hub-centric rings to ensure proper centering. Aggressive offsets or very wide wheels can contact fenders or suspension components, so moderate choices work best on this classic sedan.
Every wheel we offer bolts directly onto your car and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, OHM, and Aodhan all stock fitments ready to ship.
